John released Shadow Qi, his glowing eyes fixed on the beast as it lunged at him, jaws wide open.
John's Qi transformed into Ghost Flame as he swung his hand, sending the black flames into the beast's mouth.
The beast let out a deafening roar of pain, crashing towards John, who quickly jumped up. He swung his hand, sending Qi-woven threads that wrapped around the beast.
He released Ghost Flame, engulfing the Qi threads, and pulled, trying to tear the beast apart. The beast roared in agony from the Ghost Flame and the constricting Qi threads, swinging its massive tail for an attack.
But John used his Shadow God technique, suddenly disappearing and reappearing far from the beast's reach.
Damn, what kind of beast is this? I still wasn't able to kill it with that attack, he thought, seeing that his attack had only left cut wounds on the snake's scales, blood oozing from its injuries. It let out a loud roar of anger.
John thought, Now it's a battle of attrition, who will run out of spiritual energy first?
He raised his hand, placing it on his face, and began pouring spiritual energy into his mask, continuing his thought, But I don't have time for that.
His shadow expanded, and a shadow clone of himself leaped out, landing beside him. The clone was holding Jo Lee's sword.
The beast's glowing eyes remained fixed on John, who, with his hand still on his face, smiled, releasing spiritual energy.
"Play time is over," he said, his eyes glowing brighter, his voice turning cold. "Now it's time to die."
The beast opened its mouth, spitting out a stream of green liquid.
John and his clone jumped sideways, dodging the poison, which landed on the spot they had been standing, immediately corroding the ground and killing the grass.
John, seeing that, thought, Damn, if it could spit out poison, why didn't it use it before? The beast turned, facing John, and spat another volley of poison towards him.
